Welcome to the Yellow Caribou Readers
web page. The Yellow Caribou Readers is a spin-off group from the Red
Deer Readers - we used to meet in the Red Deer pub too. We read a wide range of books, the only rule being that
they are available in paperback.

We're a general reading group that meets on the third WEDNESDAY (note change from Thursday) of the month at 8.30pm in the "Darts Room", upstairs at the University Arms, 197 Brook Hill, Sheffield. The group discusses a wide range of books and selections include fiction, biography, poetry, etc.

From
the author of 'The Virgin Suicides'. A dramatic change of style and a
BIG book about a rare genetic mutation and several generations of a
Greek-American family. A nominated title for the
Big Gay Read promotion.

Set in the First World War, Three Day Road is told through the eyes of two
Canadian Cree Indians: Niska, the last Indian woman living off the land
in Canada, and her nephew, Xavier. Race, Culture, and little known 20th
century history.
